"FB sucks! They won't let me list my financee because he's already married. I feel like I'm in Nazi Germany!" - *brilliant* satire. Dovetails so well with the First World Problems meme.

"I'm in a polyfidelitous, non-intersecting V-Triad. What's so hard to understand about that?" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

7) Safer sex/fluid bonding is complicated. In order to feel relatively safe that you're not gonna catch an STI from your partner's goings on, it can help to understand exactly what is/isn't likely to happen, and that you are informed if you are put at risk. That level of neurosis really works for some people, but I realize it's not for everybody.

8) Again, refer to my respect and consideration rant.

@briannastarfish 5) Sometimes one's initial reaction to a situation is not the truest one because of a lack of understanding of that situation. The time and thoughts that go into getting to a final outcome is the process.

6) Polysaturated = having no more time for extra partners, having enough/too many partners already

(cont.)

@briannastarfish To repeat myself also, this is not so much of a right as a concession made (willingly) out of respect. Poly doesn't necessarily equate to emotional anarchy every time. Some people like to take the hopes/needs/desires of their partners into account when having a long-term relationship.

[superkate999]

@briannastarfish Well, it is obvious that you don't appreciate Valentine's Day, but as financial retail data suggests, millions of people do. Go figure.

[superkate999]

@briannastarfish In some poly relationships, people care about a current partner and they are willing to make concessions in their behavior in order to make the comfort of that partner a consideration. It's not out of duty, it's out of not being an asshole.

[superkate999]

@briannastarfish Because it's funny, duh.

[briannastarfish]

Most of the things these people are saying are about sex. It's clear these people are less about having relationships with multiple people, and more about having sex with multiple people. I thought that was the stereotype poly people were trying to break, and that's why a lot of poly people say "We're not swingers".

15) "I'm jealous." THEEEEEEEEN WHY ARE YOU POLY IF YOU ARE JEALOUS? If you're capable of being jealous, this is not a thing for you.

I can relate to the part about not being able to list several partners on facebook. But what I've listed are foreign concepts to me. I couldn't stand being in a relationship with anyone who actually acted like this, or said any of this to me.

[briannastarfish]

13) "I'm not jealous, I'm envious." You can only be envious of something you don't have. That's what envy means. That's also what jealousy means.

14) "I'm not jealous, I'm frustrated." With what? Somebody else's behaviour? Somebody else's activities? Somebody else's enjoyment?

9) "I'm fine if you sleep with her, I might just be triggered if you kiss her." Another foreign concept to me. What a shame that you might be triggered by someone else's happiness.

10) "I'm really working on my conpersion right now." What is conpersion?

11) "I've been going through this heterosexual phase recently." I don't even see what this has to do with polyamoury. It's totally off-topic.

12) "I'm not dissing monogamy." Shouldn't we be dissing it? Monogamy is awful.
